Gristina might walk Monday, if bail OK'd

NEW YORK — Accused madam Anna Gristina has put together a bail package — using $250,000 collateral from her family lawyer, Peter Gleason — that she is hoping will let her walk out of jail Monday.

The proposed package was being scrutinized by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office late Friday.

"We are doing what we believe the Appellate Division has required," defense lawyer Norm Pattis said of the package, referring to Tuesday's Appellate decision knocking Gristina's bail down to $250,000 bond or $125,000 cash, with an ankle bracelet monitor, from the original $2 million bond, $1 million cash.

"We just want to take her home to fight the case," Pattis said.

Gristina's lawyers hope that, barring any issues raised by prosecutors, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan would approve the $250,000 bail bond Monday morning, allowing the accused madam to be freed before the end of the day.

Gristina would live at her Monroe farm with her real estate investor husband, Kelvin Gorr, and her family as her court case progresses.

Gristina, a mother of four, has a 9-year-old son who was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur, and an 18-year-old son who is graduating from high school Tuesday.
